This years Christmas Project
This is probably the biggest creative project I have undertaken, but also the most fun. I got this idea for a playhouse for my niece and nephew. I saw a smaller version on etsy. It was made to go over a card table, but I really wanted something that would grow with them. I came up with this idea. It started with about $20 in PVC parts and an extremely helpful home depot clerk.
Then I started trimming and pinning felt together until I came up with this.
It's 3ft wide, 4ft long, 4ft tall on the corners and slmost 5ft at the peak.
The front door attaches at the top only. I sewed in the window and added the mail slot with letters embroidered with "Mommy", "Daddy"
and the kids names. Then sewed on stamps. My niece got a kick out of "delivering" the mail.
The little details took the most time, but were simple to do.
An artistic friend helped with the pattern for the cow.
I added a window to the side and sewed a flower box with pockets big enough for the pipe cleaner stems to go into.
A few more details.
